| - Great ramen in Vegas is actually hard to come by but Fukumimi produces a very good product. I've tried almost everything on their menu without any disappointment. Their two chicken karaage options, gyoza, and agedashi tofu are the appetizers I would recommend. All come fairly quickly when ordered, cooked perfectly, and taste great. I've tried their extra fragrant garlic oil ramen soup, their tantanmen, and various additional types of ramen that they offer here. All offer that 'just what the doctor ordered' feeling once you taste that first sip.
The star of the shop is none other than their Fukumimi Ramen, a pork-based ramen with thin noodles, seaweed, boiled egg, and an ample amount of pork chashu. Other additions come with a small charge but may be worth it if you like such items as added corn, extra egg, extra chashu, or bamboo sprouts. The broth is rich and salty but not over-the-top. It's definitely soothing to the soul on a cold night but contagiously good that I would even eat it on a hot summer's day.
I have even ordered to-go for work for myself and all my work colleagues. The noodles come separately with the pork belly on top and a separate styrofoam container contains the hot broth ready to be poured onto the noodles. The soup remains just as delicious as ever.
Service is usually fast, despite the somewhat small and packed establishment. There's usually an available table in minutes which you cannot say true for places like either Monta location. Definitely order the Fukumimi if you hadn't had the chance to. Being a stickler for good ramen, and having had some of the best that California and New York have to offer, I think Las Vegas's Fukumimi ramen can hang with the best of them.
